Walter Kent

Walter Kent (1911–1994) was an American songwriter whose wartime standards became lasting favourites. His best-known melodies include (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover and I'll Be Home for Christmas.

Both songs appear on Move recordings by pianist Tony Gould. On Tomorrow, just you wait and see (MD 3266), Emma Gilmartin sings (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover. Gould’s solo programme Christmas Around the Piano (MD 3409) includes a reflective reading of I'll Be Home for Christmas.

Christmas Around the Piano

Tony Gould offers reflective improvised solo-piano versions of familiar Christmas songs and carols. Played without hurry and coloured by personal memory, each tune is treated as living music rather than seasonal decoration alone.

Tomorrow, just you wait and see

Pianist Tony Gould and vocalist Emma Gilmartin share a programme of standards and originals, shaped as first-take, spontaneously conceived duets. Favourites sit beside less familiar songs, all chosen for melodic beauty and meaning.
